Re: The Bedrock Sporting Bet Thread

53,000 Scousers meet in Anfield for a 'Scousers Are Not Stupid' convention.Steven Gerrard addresses the crowd.. 'We are all here today to prove to the world that Scousers are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?'Wayne Rooney gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.Gerrard asks him 'What is 15 plus 15?'After 15 or 20 seconds Rooney says, ' Forty!'

Obviously everyone is a little disappointed. Then the Scousers start chanting 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'Gerrard says, 'Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance.'So he asks, 'What is 5 plus 5?'After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, ' Twelve?'

Gerrard looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.Everyone is disheartened and Rooney starts crying.But then the 53,000 Scousers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'Gerrard, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good eventually says, 'OK then, what is 2 plus 2?'Silence hangs over the stadium.Rooney closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, 'Four?'

Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Scouse crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream,'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

Went LARGE on Arsenal @ 1/3 and was at Selhurst to see them bring it in.

Then retired to the boozer and had Australia in the Rugby League, Serena Williams in play at evens as she threw the second set and a random tenner in play on Man Utd to win with 20 minutes left and 1-2 down. Cracking afternoon.

So how many weekends here were ruined by 2.30?

Mine was somewhat spoilt by 10pm last night when Barcelona couldn't win by over 1.5 despite battering them - knackered my otherwise spot on Friday night six-fold that wiped out my (£10) balance but would otherwise have returned around £130...
